Poda pitha is considered the favourite prasad of lord jagannath. The poda pitha preparations begin on hera panchami and continue till the bahuda yatra eve. It is a tradition for lord jagannath to stop at the mausi maa temple during bahuda yatra (return journey) and have a bite of poda pitha before returning to his holy abode. You can find various versions of this cake in odisha. I prepared poda pitha with rice flour, a few spices & the taste was amazing!!.
